These darling spiders and mice are just the perfect touch for Halloween.

These funny little mice with the bottle brush tales are some of my favorites.

Even though I hate spiders with a passion.

Actually, I am terrified of them and will run the other direction when I see one.

These little metal ones on chains - Perfect for dangling on any-old-thing. How can you not like these little guys at this time of year.

They look good in a grouping, hanging out by their chains at different lengths. I think they fit right in with my collection of Vintage M's. I really don't think of myself as a person who collects... but I do have a few things that catch my eye, and when placed in a grouping, make it look as if I am a collector...

One thing on my bucket list, for the last few years, has been to master a sewing machine.

I mentioned this new sewing idea recently to one of my sisters, and she offered to give me the machine sitting in her closest. It is the most basic, of basic machines, but when one is teaching one's self to sew... basic is music to my ears.

I tried... I failed... I then recruited my mom for help... and after 10 minutes !!

Voila`! Yippee!

Thank You Mom!

I am a sewer.

I love black and white stripes and black and white polka-dots, so with that in mind, the bags were born.

I also fell in love with the lining... greys and pinks!

I was fortunate to find all of the material I used at Hobby Lobby.
One stop. In and out.
That's how I like to roll.
If you know me, once I have something in my head, look out... stand back!!

This is my sheep bag

Can you stand how cute it is.

All of the bags are similar, but then again slightly different.

The hello Goatgeous bag comes in black, but the hello Farmhouse comes in two choices, tan and black.

The back of the bag is adorned with a pocket.. hopefully large enough to hold a cell phone.

Right now I am trying to keep up with orders.

I am selling them locally and shipping them out as fast as my little fingers can go.

$48

Locally you can find them at

LBC - Junk Market

Tafoya Salon

If you want to place a special request order and have me ship it to you

Spring is actually not right around the corner, like it is for some of you. We have a good two months before buds are blooming and the threat of snow is gone. Tonight and tomorrow they are saying 8" - 16" of snow.

Oh Well.

We have had it easy, we have had four days of teasingly warm weather, which makes me dream of Spring. I was playing on the computer this morning...I tell Mr. Miller that I am Working on my computer...

Creating isn't really work, but productivity is considered work to him, and as I was feeling very productive... a good days work it will be.

I am really into black and white these days so I decided to start with a chalkboard background.

The one shown above and my Farmer's Market are the two I like the best.

Lori Miller, Owner and Author

The Round Barn Potting Company is an adventure in design and decor. I began this adventure June 01, 2007. My brick and mortar shop was housed in a large round barn, hence the name of my company. I have recently closed the brick and mortar shop but my mind continues to create. The blog reflects my style, which is a mix of vintage and architectural pieces, casually blended with new product. My home is a place to come for daily rejuvenation and inspiration. I will post as many pictures as I can. I will fill the online shop when I can and can ship almost all merchandise in the US. You can always check on product that you see by emailing me at loriatthebarn@ymail.com
